Is this one of those unproven missile defense systems that Obama wants to cut?

If BHO is elected, his folks will have it converted to make really cool laser light shows.

We’ll ooh and Ah our enemies to the negotiating table.

You can have my laser rifle when you pry it from my cold dead hands!

When do I get mine?

The last time I looked at this, the laser required a system the size of about 2 diesel locomotives and required enough energy to power a medium sized city for about a month.

That said, the radars are getting much better and can target and fix mortar rounds and rockets in flight. A laser beam can destroy these projectiles in flight under controlled testing conditions. But, this is a long way from having a real combat capability that can be employed in a real combat environment.

Could make air/ground to air missles almost useless..
And on ships a protective cover.. and... on a jeep.. a very dangerous weapon to about any target.. a laser tank could attack almost anything in range.. even planes..
